  1. The CSS show at the metro was amazing. So much energy.

    Has anyone seen those adds on tv about the presets doing a show at Martin Place or something like that? I can't find any info on it online and it looks like the presets won't be here until June.

  2. So, speaking of APC, I've got some pretty bad crotch stress going on and I was wondering if there's any way to reinforce it or fix it before it blows out. It's just a tiny hole where it's the actual individual threads of cotton but I saw my friends jeans blow out in the crotch and the 'repairs' made the jeans look hideous.

    Thanks a lot.

  3. I agree with Matay, Superhero. Sounds like you're looking for APC. The minimalist design means you can pull it off as a bit more high end than if you had crap stitched all over your ass pockets.

    The problem then becomes the fact that you don't have any APC in Sydney. I've seen a couple pairs at Incu but some were the stone washed version I think. Or some kind of wash; either way they were pre-faded and pretty disgusting in my opinion. Other than that I can't think of anywhere that carries them.

    So that leaves you online options, but I've heard even denim bar and the other online stores run out of APC pretty quick in the most common sizes.

    Speaking of sizes if you don't know a lot about APC here you go:

    Any question you have, that page will answer it.

  4. Nah alex, let the paint sit for a while. See what it does to the jeans overall look.

    If it's no good then take some paint thinner, but a little bit on a rag and start scrubbing and see what THAT does to the jeans overall look. That'd be interesting to see... Post some pics of the jeans with paint on them.

  5. The short haired girl at Dutil has amazingly blue eyes, very pretty. But if the sizing there isn't working for you check out Eugene Chu on Main and 12th. I haven't been there for a while but last time they had a fair stock of APC 28-32.

  6. AA's not too overpriced, and my lame comeback for wearing AA is that it's not made in sweatshops.

    On another note, does anyone have any information on that Australian made raw denim brand? I saw some of it at Another Inch and it seemed pretty heavy but I can't remember the name of it.

    Oh and does anyone know a store that would sell cleaner for suede shoes?

  7. Hey so totally off topic (although so are the last couple pages) but anyone got any great restaurants/pubs/clubs they would suggest? I'm leaving for Sydney in 10 days and will be there for 4 months. Oh and give me a reason why you like the place so much... My tastes might be different than yours. :)

  8. Shoque: Yah they stretched out like they were before the wash.

    Aniki: I just used cold water and let them sit in the tub... They are definately softer and lighter but not noticeably so for me. Maybe it was the detergent you used?

  9. Shoque: I did a 15 minute soak in just standard bath tub cold water and the loss of indigo/fading was so negligible I didn't notice until I put my APC right up next to a brand new pair. And it helped the smell TONS.

    Edit: Three hours of wear and they were back to their old size.

  10. mtl20v: Those are sick. Nice work. I wish I hadn't hemmed my jeans as much as I did. Your stacks are amazing and the cuffs are still in pretty good shape. I was worried mine would get shredded so took them prett short.

    So here's some better pics, only 4 and a half months one rinse:

    Hmm.. weird ass bunching. That's not good.

  11. Thanks for the tips guys, Oxford Art Factory sounds like fun. I'm down with the nu rave stuff.

    Jay: Damn that sucks about Mac, but I'm used to a shithole campus, I go to Simon Fraser... You obviously don't know but let's just say we've got the highest suicide rate in Canada for a Uni. Is the public transportation to downtown Sydney from Mac any good?

    Yah werd on the sun thing Kokanee. and yah like i said I'm from SFU. Finishing my History major and thought it'd be fun to do a semester abroad. Congratz on getting into law grad.

    I wouldn't say prices are a lot cheaper here than in Sydney. But then I don't know prices outside of nike shoes and jeans. APC's are 200 canadian just for the vaguest of ideas.

  12. Hey guys, love that Sydney is down with sufu. Kinda creepy considering Kokanee's post above but I'm also from Vancouver and headed to Macquarie in february for a semester abroad. Tons of info on Sydney shopping (looks like prices are kinda bunk =/) in this thread but I was wondering if anyone had any info on what the locals think of Macquarie and if you've got any bars/restaurants that you wanna rave about.

  13. Hey, so these are about 4 months and a bit with maybe 2 and a half months of heavy wear. Size 30 NS, normally wear a 32 pant. When I tried them on it was an epic struggle to just get the top button up and now I can slide them off without unbuttoning. Belt is mandatory. The thighs and calves are now stretched out enough that they're comfortable unless we're talking some serious stretching. One soak, just cold water for 15 mintues. Kind've crappy pictures, they were taken with my macbook in my poorly lit basement so what can you do. And yes these are all the same pair, even though they have varied colours. The first one's the most close to the actual colour.
